"Once in a while a new band comes along that not only has a unique sound of its’ own but draws upon all the things we love about metal or rock to begin with. Edge of Paradise are one of the best independent bands to come out of L.A. in some time."

“The band is fronted by the absolutely stunning Margarita Monet, who captivated the place the moment she stepped on that stage.
Don’t be fooled by her angelic personality and beauty, Monet’s power and intensity will grab you by the neck and won’t let go until
your head is blown off by her unearthly vocal range, hitting the notes most singers would not dare to attempt.
Guitarist, Dave Bates is the epitome of sheer effortless virtuosity; this guy will make all guitar players either Idolize or hate him, as there
arevery few guitarists on this Earth that can shred like Bates. He has such precision, such feel, tasty licks, rips solos so that every note is
meant to be exactly where it is. I honestly can say that I’ve seen the best of guitarists, and he is one of the very best, period.”
